Who processes online 90 day reports?
Why Me replied to Paulaew's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I have a copy of what worked but I'll try to remember what didn't the first time. Fail (from memory) Building Name / Owner Name: XYZ Tower Address No: 12/34 Soi Mysoi Soi/Road: Soi Mysoi, Myroad Road ... Success Building Name / Owner Name: Apt. 1234, XYZ Tower Address No: 12/34 Soi/Road: Soi Mysoi ... Address seems to be key. My guess the program checks (very simplistically) with the applicant's address on record. Suggestions: 1. Try to keep the formatting as close as possible to what worked before (online old system, mail-in). 2. If rejected keep trying with different address formats. I reapplied immediately after the reject so clearly a rejected app just resets the system to zero. So I am sure you can try repeatedly without penalty. Good luck! -

Did mine through the new website last week. First was an immediate reject. Changed the address format and resubmitted. Immediate accept. Certainly seemed the process was automated with no human involved. -
Well, if she makes near 200k/mth as seems to be the case there would always be young guys who think, heck, my days of being holed out in Bearing teaching English could be over. And, it's not that I can't have my cake and eat it too. I mean she's not home 8-8.

Lordie, the amount of vitriol aimed at the gentleman lucky enough to be dating a serious catch by members who found their wives top of a bar pole:-) Heck, if this works out it could be great for us. Many have posted re banking issues. A Thai bank manager on call would be a godsend. True story: years ago my friend Jon was being pursued relentlessly by an IO who was a friend of a colleague. He was/is a consultant on an expat pay package. We told him to go for it. But he said, nah, she's too pushy. Guess who he ended hitching up with. Yep, someone he met in the Nana Disco (in the Nana Hotel, years back when it was the one and only late night club as old timers may remember). They're happy with three lovely kids but I sometimes think when dealing with 90-day/extension <deleted> how nice it would be to not have to worry because of a Mrs. Jon.

What was it like in China? Here a nattily-dressed fit black guy will win over a jowly farang with bad clothes and odor. Thais are suckers for appearances.

Here's a guess. You'll be alone in your dingy little room at midnight 31st ranting at the noisy party next door.

Issuing free e-vaccine passports from 1-31 Dec 2021

I had the same problem. Then went to Playstore and reinstalled/updated the app. Then I got the right screen. -

Yes, I am. The Mor Prom app shows both jabs. But the International Cert. icon leads nowhere. -

Do I need an attorney? Condo purchase
Why Me replied to dia1's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
The guys above listing points to look at don't know all the points. You are going to be at one end of a contract governed by Thai law. No poster in this thread has credible expertise in Thai contract law or the ins and outs of what to look for in a multimillion b. asset sale (prove me wrong - "I bought and sold 5 properties in the last 10 years" is laughable). Get a reputable legal firm on your side. Think of it as health insurance. You may hate paying the premium each healthy year but that proverbial bus could be around the corner. Heck, even 50k b. legal fees is 1% of a 5mil deal. It's cheap insurance. -
International operators like April, Cigna, Pacific etc. have a good rep. Local ones not so much. You get what you pay for. Like Pravda says it's emergencies you want to take into account when you want access to the best care, no questions asked. Which won't happen without insurance. For planned procedures another option is India. Kolkata and Chennai (10k b. return air) have excellent hospitals costing a fraction of Thai private.

Travelling in Thailand as unvaccinated resident

Move to Thailand permanently with 20M baht.
Why Me replied to MrAscii's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
If I read your earlier posts correctly that means you could potentially land here with 40m b. That's plenty for a comfortable life style even if you choose to plonk your feet up and earn only from investments. As others said: 1. Spend a few months here before relocating permanently. 2. Rent, don't buy, at least until you know what you are doing. 3. Women? See 2. If you are Asian-looking you'll actually find it easier to assimilate. You are not going to be seen as an ATM with arms and legs. -
I did say financially it makes no sense to buy here. If other factors like pride of ownership etc. come in, then that's another matter. I make no claim other than financially. Actually it's the other way around:-) Landlords, especially, those who make a business of it with multiple units are desperate for long-term residents. Case in point I moved into my place in 2002 for 25k/mth. After a couple of years told them that I won't move if they lower to 20k. They did and that's what I have been paying since.

Hmm. I did the math years ago. Rented and kept the money in the US market. Made out like a bandit, i.e., made multiple times my rent money over the years. Keep in mind rent is cheap here, typically 3-4% of purchase price. Unlike the US where it's more like 10%. And markets typically return 7%pa in the long run (though it's been much more than that past few years) so there's your differential right there. Plus in the US there's owner's tax breaks, not here. Bottom line, financially there's no advantage to renting in Thailand if you have access to a western market to invest in. But, of course, some like to own, fair enough.

What is the condition, OP, that prevents you from masking up? We are all anonymous here so no one will be compromised in giving "personal" info.
